My grandfather lived to be late 90s on one side and on the other side, 70s or something. And my father died young, at 63. But he didn't take very good care of himself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My grandfather went through a lot in his life.
My mother left my father in their late 60s.
My father passed away a couple of years ago, but he was very old. He was almost a 100 years old. And, you know, he had a very good life. He came to America and he had a good life.
I have an uncle who lived to 101, and my father died at 95, so I have a second career ahead of me.
My mother just died at 103, so that's a start. You should live 20 years longer than your parents.
I'd be happy to live till 80 as long as I was comfortable and in good health. Mind you, ask me again on the eve of my 80th birthday. Even so, I hope we don't all start living to be 120. I'm not sure I'd cope with another 60 years.
My maternal grandmother was the longest-lived of my grandparents. She migrated to Australia in her 80s and lived into her 90s. It was great that she got to be part of my adult life.
My great-great-grandfather lived to age 28, my immigrant great-grandfather Pedro Gotiaoco died at 66, my grandfather was 68, and my father died at 34.
My father died in '97. But at least he lived until 93, so he saw my success.
My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I've got two uncles who are in their 90s now.
